Why Does Trump Want to Buy Greenland?

[excalibur]

Strategy. Same reason Truman wanted to buy it decades ago.

See: Pituffik Space Base.

 

[JGalt]

Besides being a tactical plot of land, it's got a lot of resources that have never been tapped.

Those stupid Danish are environmentalists and don;t understand the concept of "Use it or lose it."

We should just take it from them and tell them to go butt a rubber stump..

 

[Thunk]

They scoffed at the Louisiana purchase...

They called the purchase of Alaska "Sewards folly"...

Bust a move Mr. President!!!

Why Does Trump Want to Buy Greenland?​

Because things are greener up there.
Actually:

1. Because it is a brilliant strategic move to offset Russian and Chinese advances in commandeering the North Atlantic and Arctic seas as strategic avenues for themselves.
2. Because China has been making strategic moves all over the planet (including the South China Sea and the Panama Canal) putting themselves into a position of global domination.
3. Because Greenland is rife with mineral and other resources we desperately need to remain independant and free of control by China.

These are all things that Joe Bribeden should have been doing and worried about these past four years instead of pronouns, gender-bending, and DEI in our military.

People are forgetting that the ice in Greenland is over 1 mile thick, and counties like Saudi Arabia are willing to pay for shiploads of fresh water.

 

[elektra]

yup, making a show out of pushing our allies for the entertainment of the Ugly American crowd.

China is not our ally hence we should exert or influence in our hemisphere.

Holland does not need a colonial possession

One Strong Man cutting deals with another? Wouldn't surprise me in the slightest.

Like Biden receiving millions of dollars in exchange for Crimea back 2014, thus starting the war.

Buy it? Who is selling?

 

[Winco]

Is it something to do with the tariffs? Or something completely different? Whatever it is Greenland doesn't seem all that interested anyways.

He wants to buy it and rename it to Trumpland.

This ^^^^ is obvious.

Good question!

If Trump bought Greenland...who would get the money? IM2?

Holland? WTF do they have to do with anything?

Denmark, Holland Netherlands, for some reason I just lump them into the same country

Critical areas of our world should be controlled by freedom loving entities. All communist countries or Democrats will do is put up roadblocks everywhere and rob the working man. Viva Trumpy.

Danemark’s the enemy now?….

Or maybe Trump ends the Ukraine War on Day One by giving Russia a free hand in Ukraine in return for Russia giving Trump a free hand in Greenland? One Strong Man cutting deals with another? Wouldn't surprise me in the slightest.

I don't understand why Trump would need any help from Russia if he is serious about buying Greenland.

Hey, Einstein, how much did the dooshbag offer the Danes?

Russia nor China will make a fuss at the UN or militarily if Trump takes Greenland?

So long as Russia gets Ukraine and China gets Taiwan?

Mister "The Art of the Deal", right?

I wonder what Trump will give-and-take about to get Iceland as well?

I mean... after all... it's right next door to the new 51st State...

 

[justoffal]

Well the Kingdom of Denmark isn't doing anything with it.

And they would be completely unable to defend it. They already know this.

It's not like he plans to invade it. He wants to buy it. It's unclear what leverage Russia and China would have.

So long as Russia gets Ukraine and China gets Taiwan?

I don't understand why you think the UN would have to approve anything.

Mister "The Art of the Deal", right?

He's an incredible negotiator, I am sure you know.

I wonder what Trump will give-and-take about to get Iceland as well?

As much as you try to belittle him, Trump demoted Trudeau to Governor just days ago, and you see now that the failed progressive is gone.

Instead of laughing at the Greenland idea, how about explaining in serious terms why it is a bad idea for the US to seek acquisition? All I am seeing is unsupported mocking, and I have the impression you have not seriously considered the pros and cons, you just immediately jump to Orange Man Bad.
